Defy Gravity John Murphy

Chapter 6

(Angst and Possible Trigger Warning!)(Izzy POV) Everyone is working hard today. Building on a wall to surround the camp. The reason we're all rushing to get this wall up is because we found Wells dead outside camp. Bellamy and John wouldn't let me see his body, saying it was the grounders that killed him. I cried for hours, John holding me. Today, John won't let me out of his sight, so I'm helping move the wood around and giving out water. I'm sitting down to take a breather, when Clarke runs past me, with Bellamy, Jasper, Finn and Octavia on her tail. I run after them just in time to see Clarke shove John to the ground. I run over helping John up, we turn to Clarke "What's your problem?" I yell. "Recognize this?" Clarke asks, holding up John's knife. "That's my knife, where..." "Where you dropped it after you killed Wells." Clarke says. "Wait what? The grounders killed Wells, not me." John states. "I know what you did, and you're going to pay for it." Clarke threatens. John looks toward Bellamy "Bellamy you really believe this crap?" John asks. " You threatened to kill him. We all heard you. You hated Wells." Clarke says. "Plenty of people hated Wells. His father was the chancellor that locked us up." John points out. "You're the only one that got in a knife fight with him." Clarke says. "I didn't kill him then either." John mutters. "Tried to kill Jasper, too." Octavia adds, the crowd surrounding us, and  I see John get worried. "This is ridiculous, I don't have to answer to you, I don't have to answer to anyone." John yells. "Come again?" Bellamy questions. "I'm sorry, what happened to the motto, whatever the heck we want?" I question. "This is different Iz, it's Wells murder." "Yay it's Wells." I say, walking up to Octavia and Bellamy with Murphy behind me. "Wells Jaha. Who was my friend before any of you people." Looking around at the crowd. "I knew Wells, he wouldn't want this angry, chaos." I say. "Bellamy, look, I'm telling you, man, I didn't do this," Murphy states, "They found his fingers on the ground with your knife." Bellamy says. "Murphy lost his knife, me and him looked for it, and couldn't find it." I point out. " Is this the kind of society we want? You say there should be no rules. Does that mean we can kill each other without punishment?" Clarke questions. "I already told you I didn't kill anyone." Murphy repeats, turning back to Clarke. "I say we float him." Someone in the crowd shouts, "That's not what I'm saying. Revenge isnt justice." Clarke disagrees. "Why not? He deserves to float. It's justice. Float him. "
A kid, I think named Conner says. People start chanting. "John Murphy didn't kill Wells, I was with him,the night Wells was killed." I yell, remembering John comforting me after waking up from nightmares. "Why should we believe you? You've been attached to Murphy since we first got down here? For all we know, you could have helped Murphy kill Wells." Conner questions. "I say float them both." Someone shouts. Everyone yells as me and John huddle together. Someone rips me out of John's arms "No don't hurt her, Iz!" John yells, trying to get to me, being tripped and falling to the ground. "No, please, don't!" I yell. I shout and struggle against my captor, watching them beat John up. I cry and feel helpless as I watch John take a beating before being dragged off. The person holding me followed, John thrown down a hill, tied up and gagged. I scream as loud as I can, the man holding me throwing me down the hill, I tumble down. I try to get my bearings, laying on the ground, I barely see John next to me, I reach for him, but someone grabs me again. I grow dizzy as the person holds me. In my blur'd vision, I see the crowd around John, as he is strung up on a rope. A box under John is the only thing keeping him from choking to death. "Your next girl." I realize the person holding me is John Mbege, M, Murphy's friend. The rage and pain explode in me, and I fling Bee off of me. I push my way through the crowd, I try to make it to John. "Bellamy, you should do it. Bellamy." Someone says, as the crowd starts cheering his name. I feel hands gripping at me as I scream "No don't please, stop. John!" I keep screaming even as Octavia tries to pull me away. When Bellamy kicks the box from under John, I nearly collapse. The whole world goes quiet. The only thing I see is John struggling to breathe. Rage comes back, and I shove Octavia away and hold up my hand and rip the branch holding Murphy down with my powers. Everyone freezes, I rush by people, Finn and me getting to John, I collapse next to him, tearing the rope from his neck. John gasps, taking deep gulps of air, groaning in pain. I pull the gag out of his mouth. I pull his head into my lap, as Finn keeps the crowd away. I suddenly hear a young girls voice yell "Just stop okay. Murphy didn't kill Wells I did!" Everyone backs away from John. I look around at all the people, knowing now they can turn into animals. Knowing they tried to kill me and John. I brush John's hair back as he rests. "I'm sor..." "Don't say your sorry." John chokes out, "Those people, did it to us, not you." John says, holding my hand. I hold John's hand, tears falling down my eyes. John wipes them away, sitting up to face me. "You should rest. We both should." I say. "No. First, we deal with the real murderer." I look where John's looking, to see the girl who confessed to killing Wells being walked away by Bellamy and Clarke. "She's just a child." I murmur, looking back at John, John looking back at me. "That didn't stop these savages from trying to kill you and me. That little girl stood there and did nothing while we were tortured." John points out. I look toward the crowd as me and John stand up.  "Come on." I say, taking John's hand in mine. We walk to where Clarke and Bellamy took the girl. "Where are they?" I ask, everyone looks toward a big tent. I walk over. "Bellamy!" I yell. Silence. "Come out here with the girl, and no one else gets hurt!" I yell. Silence. "Clarke, you want to get justice for Wells,  beating me and John to a pulp didn't do it?" I yell. Nothing. I'm about to storm in there when John pulls me back. "Bring out the girl Bellamy!" John yells pacing, me standing next to him. "Bring the girl out now!" I yell.  Quiet. "You want to build a society, princess, let's build a society, bring her out!" John demands. Bellamy finally walking out. "Look who decided to join us." John says. "Call it down and back off." Bellamy orders. "We don't follow your orders anymore, Blake. Not after you tried to kill us." I let out, walking up to him. Bellamy shoves me down, I hit my head again hard. Everything goes blurry. I hear yelling in the background, as someone lifts me up, I keep my eyes closed, opening them to see Octavia. "Why?" I ask. She just gapes at me. I see Bellamy turn away from Murphy, Murphy hitting him on the back of the head. I look toward the tent, using my powers, tearing down the flimsy fabric that is a tent door, to see nothing and no one. I hear John yelling as darkness takes me. I wake up to some one wiping my face. I open my eyes, seeing John wiping my face down with a damp cloth. I see his face is cleaned from all the blood and dirt of the chaos "Hey." I murmur. "Hey" He says. "What happened?" I ask. "Charlotte, Clarke and Finn ran. I'm going with a search party to find them." John answers. "I'm coming with you." I say, trying to sit up, but John pushes me back down, cradling my head. "You passed out for a long time. You might have a concussion. I don't need to worry about you while looking for those traitors. So stay here, rest, and by morning I'll be back." John states. "Don't hurt Charlotte." I murmur. John frowns, "Charlotte's a little girl, John, she ... she didn't know any better, she's so scared probably. I don't want to murder a baby girl for Wells. That's not justice." I whisper, taking Murphy's hand in mine. Murphy sighs "Your right, I'll bring them all back, alive." John promises. "I don't want to be alone with those people." I mutter. "Octavia is just outside with Jasper. If you get hurt while I'm gone, they will be held responsible. " John threatens. I smirk, John smirking back. "Be careful." I tell, "Rest." John replies, kissing me on the head before leaving the tent. I wait a good five minutes before looking out to see Octavia and Jasper talking to each other. I knock over some logs next to them and rush out before they can see me. I run into the woods, no idea where I'm going. But the sounds of John and then Charlotte yelling, helps lead my way. I find everyone near a cliff, John with a knife to Clarkes throat. "John what are you doing?" "Getting justice." John answers. "Please don't hurt her." Charlotte begs. "Charlotte, listen to me, we don't want anyone hurt. We just want to bring you back to camp, and have a trial, that's all." I admit. "Tell that to your friend here." Bellamy say, standing in front of Charlotte, guarding her from Murphy and his thugs. "Come on Charlotte, we won't hurt anyone if you come with us, I will let her go." John promises. Charlotte tries to walk toward us as I try to walk toward Charlotte, but Bellamy keeps us separated. I get a hold on her hand, but Bellamy shoves me away again. Falling on the ground, my head bangs against what I think is a rock. My vision blurs, I hear Charlotte talking, seeing her turn toward the cliff. I don't think and pull Charlotte toward me with my powers. Charlotte falls on me, I grip her like my life depends on it. "Your okay, your safe, we won't hurt you. Please don't do that again. Please Charlotte." I beg, turning her to me. "I promise." She sobs. I lay back down, resting my eyes before falling into darkness.

I wake up in John's tent, slowly sitting up, leaving the tent. I see Octavia and Charlotte. I hug them both, them hugging me. I pull away, turning to Charlotte "Are you okay?" I ask. "Yay, they got everyone to agree to a trial tommorow." Charlotte answers, I nod hugging her again, knowing Charlotte , me, and John almost lost our lives for Clarkes big mouth. I turn to Octavia. "Where's John?" I ask. Octavia looks at the ground. "Octavia, where is John Murphy?" I question. "I'm sorry." She says, glancing at me. I leave, both of them following me, I got to the dropship first, seeing Bellamy and Clarke. They turn to me with sadness on their face. "Where is John, where is he, what did you do with him?" I question, my voice getting louder with every word. "We banished Murphy." Bellamy answers. "For what?" I ask, " For trying to kill Charlotte." Clarke answers. "John and me agreed. We wouldn't kill her. We would just bring Charlotte back to camp, he promised me he wouldn't hurt her!" I yell. "Well, he tried to." Bellamy mutters. "You idiots! You try to kill an innocent man without a trial. Your savages, all of you!" I shout, looking at the crowd around us. I grab the first knife I see, storming through camp, I make my way to the entrance, crowd making a path for me. "Izzy, what are you doing?" Octavia asks me, I glance back to see her, Bellamy and Clarke following. "Going to find John." I answer. "Are you crazy the grounders are out there?" Clarke questions. "All the more reason to find John before they do." I reply, pushing the gate open,"Iz..." Bellamy starts grabbing my arm. "Get off of me!" I scream, my powers throwing Bellamy into the crowd. Everyone stares at me in shock. "That's right, I was one of the arks dirty little secrets, their lab rat. Testing out the limits of the human body and brain. So, you want to test my limits?" I yell, everyone backing up. I walk out of camp, not looking back, with my only thought being finding John.
